Stay Close to Dubbo's Top Attractions
We’re located right on Cobra Street in the heart of Dubbo, with most of the best attractions just a short walk away, and those further out only a quick drive. Park your car on arrival and explore the area hassle-free. Macquarie Street, just 50m away, offers cafes, shops, and dining, while the Old Dubbo Gaol, 50m away, is a must-see heritage site. The Dubbo RSL, 300m from us, provides great dinner and entertainment options. Across the road, you’ll find fast food options like Maccas, Pizza Hut, Red Rooster, and Subway. For a longer adventure, Taronga Western Plains Zoo is 5.6km or a 10-minute drive away, and if you’re into cycling, it’s just a 4.5km ride along a scenic river trail that takes about 15 minutes at a leisurely pace. There are also longer cycling routes, including a 6km urban loop and a 13km extended trail, and we’re happy to point you in the right direction!

- FAQs
Got Questions? We've Got Answers.
How far is the motel from Taronga Western Plains Zoo?
Just 10 minutes by car — it’s 5.6km down the road. If you’d rather ride, it’s a scenic 15-
minute bike ride along the river trail. We can show you the route.
Can I order breakfast to my room?
Absolutely. Choose from cooked breakfast options or a pre-ordered breakfast basket —
juice, toast, yoghurt, cereal, and fresh fruit delivered to your door. Just put your order in
the night before.
Is there a restaurant on-site?
We don’t have a restaurant, but we’ve got you covered. There’s a guest BBQ for cooking your
own, a licensed bar for drinks, and we have chargeback arrangements with local restaurants
— dine out and charge it to your room.
Do you offer airport transfers?
Yes — we run a shuttle to and from Dubbo Regional Airport for $10 each way. Just a
heads-up: we can’t transport children under 7 as we don’t carry an authorised car seat.
Is the motel pet-friendly?
Pets in vehicles may be permitted by prior arrangement — give us a call to discuss.
Assistance animals are always welcome. We just can’t have pets in the rooms.
What's your cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 2pm the day before you arrive. After that, the full booking
amount will be charged. We require a valid credit card at the time of booking.
Is smoking allowed?
We’re a completely non-smoking property. If evidence of smoking is found in a room, a
$250 cleaning fee will be applied to cover steam cleaning and laundering.
Can I get an early check-in or late check-out?
We’ll always try to accommodate you — just ask when you book. It depends on
departures and incoming bookings, and a small fee may apply.
